Okay, ENGENEs, we need to talk. A freshly announced fancall schedule listing ‘ENHYPEN / Heeseung’ has blown up online and honestly… the outrage is real. This all comes after the shocking announcement that Heeseung is leaving ENHYPEN, and many fans are calling out BELIFT Lab for how it’s handling the aftermath.
ENHYPEN | BELIFT Lab
What set people off: a promotional schedule for the group’s album fancall that lists the attending artist as both ‘ENHYPEN’ and separately ‘Heeseung.’ Given the company’s statements that Heeseung won’t be rejoining the group, fans see this as inconsistent, uncomfortable for Heeseung, and plainly driven by profit. Social feeds filled with tweets calling the move unfair, confusing, and tone-deaf.

Fan reactions have centered on a few recurring points:
- It feels contradictory to declare Heeseung officially no longer part of ENHYPEN while still advertising him alongside the group for paid events.
- Many worry about how isolating it will be for Heeseung to participate in group promotions ‘by himself’—and whether the move prioritizes revenue over the members’ well-being.
- Anger is mostly aimed at BELIFT Lab for what fans call inconsistent messaging and poor handling of the transition.
Short context for anyone catching up:
- Heeseung’s departure from ENHYPEN has been publicly announced and confirmed.
- BELIFT Lab is ENHYPEN’s agency and has been issuing statements about the changes and schedules.
- The contested schedule lists both ‘ENHYPEN’ and ‘Heeseung’ separately for an upcoming album fancall, which triggered the backlash.
- Fans (ENGENEs) have been vocal online, sharing frustration and disappointment about how the situation is being managed.
Honestly, whether you’re sad, furious, or a mix of both, this whole moment feels messy. Fans want clarity, respect for the members, and for companies to stop sending mixed signals—especially when people’s livelihoods and reputations are on the line.
